Episode 11
Yoon Se Na.
Let me go.
I have nothing more to say.
I'm not going to like you anymore.
Then I guess it'll be a one-sided love now.
I don't care anymore.
I don't care if you're Yoon Se Na.
From now on, I'm going to show my true feelings.
You should have just said you liked me.
I like you.
But you said you didn't want to see me.
I'm going to see you.
- You said not to visit your place. - You can visit.
Are you going to end up changing your mind?
I won't.
But why were you with Miss Shin earlier?
I wasn't trying to be alone with her.
Sung Jin was supposed to come.
Liar.
- It's true. - How can I trust you?
Today's my birthday.
Today's your birthday?
Yeah.
Why didn't you tell me?
I just told you right now.
Follow me.
Why are you so bad at this?
- Do it properly. - I don't have any money left.
- Move, I'll do it. - No, I'll do it.
- Wow. - Whoa.
Give me your hand.
Give it.
Looks good on you.
This isn't my birthday present, is it?
I think this glows in the dark.
- It doesn't glow in the dark. - I think it does.
See? It glows.
Yoon Se Na.
Do you have a cold?
No.
But you have a fever.
I'm usually warm. I'm fine.
Get up. Let's go home.
But I don't want to go.
I do feel a bit sick though.
What? Aren't you going home?
We need to have a birthday party. Wait here just a minute.
No, no. I'm scared. I can't stay here alone.
Don't look behind you.
Follow me.
Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday dear Mister. Happy birthday to you.
Ta-da! The world's biggest birthday cake.
Blow out the candles.
Just one candle because today's the first night.
Wow. Even if I blow, the candle won't go out.
You don't like the ring and cake, do you?
Can I be honest?
I knew it.
It's memorable.
It's second best to the present I got when I was seven.
That's not my present though. My real present is something else.
You took my cold.
This is unexpectedly delicious.
Why is my Hong so good at cooking?
Stop eating. I'm going to give it to Se Na.
- Let me have some. - No.
You're going to spill it.
I said don't do it. Let go.
- You guys. - Oh Se Na!
What's with you? You looked like you were dying earlier.
You're back with the handsome dog owner!
- Congratulations friend! - Right?
Really? Hey, since she's okay, I'll have the porridge.
The handsome dog owner wouldn't act like him, right?
I'm jealous Yoon Se Na.
My stomach hurts.
Dal Bong.
Were you worried?
Hey.
I called because I was worried.
About what?
I'm all better now. But you have a fever now, right?
You must be shivering cold.
Can you get a cold just from a kiss?
Go to sleep.
Okay.
Yoon Se Na.
Yes?
Don't get sick.
Okay.
Yes?
How's your cold? Are you better?
Of course.
Too bad. If you were sick, I was going to give you a ride.
Oh no. Since you're sick today, I'll give you a ride.
When did you start liking me?
From the moment you met me? Or the moment it rained in the park?
Or since the recording studio?
How are you going to write a song with Shi Woo?
Are you jealous right now?
Jealous? Why would I be jealous?
This is a very important move for Shi Woo. You need to do well.
I know that. We'll do well.
Why do you like me? What about me do you like? What?
Get out.
Are you mad?
The company's right there. Are you going to go in with me?
I'll see you tonight.
Sure.
What happened yesterday?
Did you go to see Yoon Se Na?
Yeah.
I can't stop you, right?
If you could, I wouldn't have gone.
Are you happy doing what you want?
Can't I be?
Of course you can.
You've suffered enough the past three years.
Still, take care of Hae Yoon, will you?
I got here a bit late.
Wait a minute.
Let's talk.
It must be something serious.
What's this supposed to mean?
I'm sorry. I don't have the right to receive this.
I couldn't keep our promise.
So you won't end it with her?
So what are you going to do? Are you two going to date?
Yoon Se Na still doesn't know, right?
What do you think she'll do if she finds out?
Have you thought about that?
I'm not thinking about anything right now.
I'm only thinking about Yoon Se Na.
You must be crazy.
Since you couldn't keep your promise, I won't keep mine.
Your secret...
What will you do if I tell Yoon Se Na?
I probably won't be able to see either you or Yoon Se Na ever again.
Even if that happens...
I won't resent you.
I have to go back. I forgot I have a meeting.
How many times do I have to tell you not to eat crackers in the dance studio?
Roy ate the crackers.
That's not possible. Roy doesn't like crackers.
What is this?
Are you talking about me?
Hello.
Didn't you say she was fired?
I'm working with Shi Woo on his follow up song.
That's really impressive.
First, you get in through the president. Now through Shi Woo?
Don't worry. I'm not back at ANA.
I'm just working here for a couple of days, and then I'll leave.
Have a nice day.
Yoon Se Na! You can't have our Shi Woo.
I was surprised to run into you last night.
Me too.
It was President Wook's birthday. That's why I was with him.
I know. He told me.
Did something happen between the two of you?
I don't think I have to tell you that.
Go and write music. That's why you're here.
Yes. I will.
I'm really worried.
What kind of song should you sing to touch people's hearts?
Let's make it easy.
My face is touching enough.
Since when did you become so full of yourself?
I'm not full of myself. It's just self-preservation.
I've been through so much, this is what I do to endure all the hardships.
What kind of hardships?
There were a lot of things. There was a lot, but...
I don't want to tell you.
But I have to get to know you.
That's how I can write you a suitable song.
What kind of person do I seem like to you?
Not sure. I don't know you well enough.
Then stay close until you find out what kind of person I am.
Can't you just tell me yourself?
Don't want to.
You got prettier since you got sick.
No, you were always pretty.
I have to get going.
I'll be back so wait right here.
I'll go with you.
Forget it. This is personal business.
You said to stay close.
Fine.
We're stepping out for a bit.
Sure, you don't have to tell me. Go ahead.
We'll be back. Let's go.
You should have asked where they're going.
They look close. Will they be okay?
They'll be fine.
- Let's go. - Yes.
What is it? Why did you come to the company?
You look pale.
Yeah, I drank too much.
You must have been shocked last night when I called out of the blue.
No. I was glad you called.
What do you want?
There's an open spot in my company.
You shouldn't work at ANA anymore.
It'll be difficult to have to see Hyun Wook's face.
What are you saying?
You really must have been drunk.
Do you really not remember what you said?
You said my hunch was right.
Remember when you said you and I would end up the same position?
You were right.
Hyun Wook...
Yoon Se Na...
I think he's in love with her.
But Yoon Se Na...
She's Yoon So Eun's sister.
Do you remember now?
What's the reason you came running to me?
Didn't you want to tell me the secret?
It was my mistake. Pretend you never heard it.
I'll take care of it, so leave it alone.
If that's what you want.
But make your decision soon and let me know.
I want to know what you decide.
Which one's prettier?
Why do you keep buying presents? I said I don't need anything.
It's not for you.
Then why did you bring me here?
You said you'd stay close. Since you're here, choose one.
Who is it for?
Don't be jealous. It's for my mom.
Your mom's a teacher here?
No, a student. They're announcing the new choir members today.
What?
Are you surprised my mom's a junior high student?
Figures.
No one would believe someone's only had an elementary school education.
Let's go. My mom even has a solo part.
She takes after me and sings very well.
You're the one who takes after her.
Clap a lot. That's why I brought you here.
- It's not difficult. Just do it like this. - But how can I?
Who's this man?
Me?
Reporter Park of Today News.
It would be nice if we reported your mom attends junior high, but she won't cooperate.
Why did you come all the way here for that?
It wasn't going to be negative. Just as I heard, you're a good son.
It'll help out your image.
I'm sorry.
Please allow my mother to attend school quietly.
Shouldn't you get going?
What's wrong with you? This is a chance for good press.
By any chance, are you embarrassed?
Not at all Reporter. Write the article.
If it's for my son, you should write it.
Even if it helps me, it doesn't help you.
Don't tell my mother's friends that she goes here.
If she doesn't want to be outed, you should leave her alone.
If you're not active, and no articles are written about you, they'll forget you quickly.
Don't you know that?
You said Today News?
I'll do the interview after the ceremony.
I'll do anything to help my son.
- In that case, please write favorably. - Mom.
Forget it.
You're asking me to report on your accident onstage.
I'll see you when there's another one.
Reporter. Reporter...
Can we let him leave like that?
You can't get negative press.
You said you wanted to go to school quietly.
If you don't want to, just say no. Are you a criminal?
Why do you grovel in front of everyone you meet?
What else am I supposed to do?
There's nothing else I can do for you.
Because of you, I have my own store, and people call me boss.
I get to go to school, and I even live in a big house.
But I can't do anything for you.
So what?
You're going to beg everyone you meet to please take good care of Shi Woo?
Do you think anything will change if you do that?
I shouldn't have come.
You didn't even invite me today.
Why do you always fight with your mom?
I don't know either.
I don't want to, but I keep getting mad.
I want her live with some dignity now that her son's doing well
but she always looks pitiful.
I don't understand why she lives that way.
You even bought her a present. You're just going to go?
What's the point of buying this? She won't even carry it around.
You really don't listen. I told you that you'll regret it later.
And what is it that you regret?
Same thing as you.
Getting angry and fighting when you don't mean it.
I'm jealous of you. You still have a lot of time.
Time to say you're sorry. Time to say 'I love you.'
I don't have time like that.
I wish I had a mom.
Then just think of my mom as your mother.
Isn't your husband's mother also your mother?
Hey.
Where are you? Are you still with Shi Woo?
I'm not curious. I'm just checking.
Is the songwriting going well?
What?
You should tell me if you got here.
You said we didn't have to report to you.
I was talking as president earlier. This time, it's different.
How is it different this time?
Can't you figure it out?
I told you to write songs. What were you doing?
I met Shi Woo's mother.
Why did you meet her?
I said I'd stay close to Shi Woo until I wrote a song that suits him.
When do you think the song will be finished?
I think I already have it.
Watching Shi Woo with his mom made me think of something.
I want a song that expresses a person's true feelings
ones they can't usually express.
I don't have the melody yet.
Well, I guess it'll turn out good. Work hard.
Where are you going?
Home.
Can't you wait until I'm finished?
Why should I?
You said we'd see each other later tonight.
We saw each other now.
But I want to see more.
Work through the night, all the way until morning.
- Is it that urgent? - Of course.
Because tomorrow you need to play with me.
I'm so bored!
Should we go to the park?
It's a bother to change clothes. And it's cold outside.
Everything is a bother to you!
How do I look?
It's not my style.
Who cares?
Don't listen to him. You look pretty wearing anything.
I'm jealous. It's your first date.
The two of us are always stuck at home working.
What's the big deal about a first date?
You watch a movie, hold hands, have dinner, have a drink, maybe kiss. That's all.
There's nothing special about that dog owner. Don't get your hopes up.
Guys all think the same. All dates are the same.
Hey, why are you so harsh about other people's dates?
But it's the truth!
The dog owner has a car and money. He's on a different level than you.
- What? - Go out and earn money.
Yes?
I don't think I can meet you today.
Why?
Are you sick?
I have a cold. I feel so sick.
I'm sorry.
I don't think I can go out.
Your priority is to get better.
You look healthy enough. Why did you get sick?
This is your fault.
So why did you kiss me?
You said you can't get sick from a kiss like that.
Such a baby.
I'm not being a baby. I really am sick.
Look, Dal Bong agrees with me.
Poor thing.
Did you have any medicine?
I need food with my medicine.
Should I make you something?
There's nothing to eat.
I need medicine though.
Shrimp, mushroom, and vegetable stir fry.
I put in all the ingredients I found in the fridge.
You didn't have to put in everything.
Hurry and eat.
Isn't it good?
What?
We don't have to go out.
I just like being next to you.
This way, I can see your face.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
I think I'm all better.
At least have some food.
Hae Yoon.
If I just tell her, the two will probably break up, right?
Why are you thinking like that?
You're right.
It's not like Hyun Wook will come to me if I do that.
Should I quit the company?
Why would you quit the company?
I don't think I can face Hyun Wook.
What? Is it a bad match?
He's not a good business partner.
Your other compatibility is too strong.
Other compatibility?
Marital compatibility!
What?
Give up on the business. How about you just get married?
What is this?
I have a husband!
What do I do?
Madam!
How did our compatibility turn out?
Well...
So it turned out bad.
That's not it...
Don't believe things like that.
They said my compatibility with my ex-wife was great. But look.
Let's go in for now.
Oh Madam!
You come here often these days. Did you come to see Mr. Kang?
I didn't come to see Mr. Kang. I came to see Mi Na.
Mi Na's not here yet.
Okay.
Did you go to see Mr. Kang?
Are you two having an affair?
I'm trying to get a job because I don't trust you!
I'm trying to earn a living!
A job?
You're trying to join forces with him and take over the company?
That's right.
I'm trying to take over the company!
Hyun Wook's quitting anyway.
Do you think a person like you can run the company?
Are you saying you can't give me anything?
Fine then. I'll ask for a DNA test.
Let go!
I'm going to rip out his hair!
Wait.
Give me a couple of days, and I'll explain everything.
Can I trust you?
Is it a love song?
- It is, but... - I like it.
Good thing you stayed close.
Seems you had a lot of fun on the song.
Sometimes, you have a better product if there's a bit of fighting involved.
Is that what you were hoping would happen?
This isn't enough for me to know.
I need to hear the finished song.
If you can't think of something good, you'll sing a cover. Hurry.
Why don't you leave the two of us alone then? That way we can work.
Work hard.
Don't go out.
Hold on.
When you're with me, just focus on me.
I'll focus starting now.
I wrote down some lyrics. Want to see?
The concept is kind of like writing a letter to your mother.
I'm glad I can see your face and be with you.
This is the first sentence that came to mind.
I'll write the rest of the lyrics.
We shouldn't take a risk on this song.
I may not be good at everything, but I can write.
I love you. The one thing I never told you enough.
How's that?
It's good. Keep going.
The words I kept away in my heart. Sorry, sorry.
Hey.
I like writing with you.
It's my first time writing a song.
I didn't know I'd enjoy writing my own song this much.
You just figured that out?
Don't you think we work very well together?
Do you want to make an exclusive contract?
I think I can do anything well with you.
I'll think about it. Things don't go well for me when I'm with you.
But you could from now on.
What is that?
[Letter of Resignation]
Do you have to do this?
I thought it over during the weekend.
This is what I've decided.
I'm going to put an end to my feelings for you.
You're quitting because you don't want to see my face?
Yeah.
I think it'll be difficult if I have to keep seeing you.
Can't you wait a few days longer?
My father will be back soon.
You know the company comes before personal matters.
Just accept it.
I can't do this anymore.
I can't see you.
I'm sorry it's so sudden, but I hope you understand.
Hae Yoon.
You said it's been twelve years since we've known each other.
You're not the only one with memories.
When I was sad about my mother's death, you were by my side.
When I left the country because I was mad at my father
you're the one who told me to be strong.
The memories we've had together are important to me too.
I don't want it to end like this.
If you need time, rest up at home.
Think it over a few more days.
How do you think I'll feel if I keep having to see you?
Just let me go when I say I'm ready.
That'll be best for you too.
Why haven't you been answering your phone? I was worried.
I can't work for your company.
It goes against business ethics.
But I'm going to quit the company.
It'll be hard, but I want to end things with Hyun Wook.
So I hope you forget what I told you.
Why are you doing this?
Just because I'm miserable doesn't mean everyone else has to be too.
Even in a situation like this, you want to save Hyun Wook from misery?
Don't worry about Hyun Wook.
And Jae Young...
don't you feel bad for Yoon Se Na?
It's partly your fault that her sister died.
How is it my fault?
It's their own faults for starting to mistrust each other.
You still haven't changed.
Thanks for worrying about me.
I'm going.
[Letter of Resignation]
I have something to discuss with you.
Listen to this once for me.
I don't know what to do for the next part.
Instead of going from B flat to F, do something like this. Here.
Play it. Didn't you think of something?
You need to figure it out on your own.
You decided to take on the song yourself.
If I help you, I need to take credit for the song.
I'd like that. Song co-written by Lee Hyun Wook and Yoon Se Na.
It's nice if we have that for posterity.
That only works if there's interest in the collaborators.
I don't care about that.
At least we'd still know that it was a song we wrote when we started to like each other.
Doesn't the song just come to you?
You said you wrote songs best when you were in love.
Can't you try writing songs again?
I want to hear the songs you write.
I told you I'm busy enough with my work as president.
So you're still not ready.
If I want to hear the songs you write
I'll have to make you fall more deeply in love.
Give it some more thought. The intro is nice.
Why did you get here so early?
I think I can write the song at home.
Do you not date and just work?
I just don't understand you.
The handsome dog owner just sends you home?
Why wouldn't he send her home?
Of course not. I wouldn't send you home ever.
They've just started dating.
Hey, you and I had our first kiss within our first week of dating.
- And within a month-- - What are you saying?
Okay, I went a bit overboard.
Sit down.
What's wrong?
You're at the start of dating, and a smile should be on your face all day.
Sometimes, Mister looks sad.
I don't know what to do during those times.
Se Na.
For now, go to the handsome dog owner's house.
- And do what? - Don't come back.
Until he doesn't look sad.
Can't you write songs again?
I want to hear the songs you write.
If I want to hear your songs, I'll have to make you fall more deeply in love.
- Min Jae, go get the ball. - Okay, Dad!
Oh, I'm so tired. When I was in school, they called me Lee Pele.
Time has passed.
I know.
Yoon Ji.
I think it'll be hard for me to see Min Jae from now on.
My family...
I'll have to tell them the truth.
- I'm sorry. - It's okay.
I'm grateful for all you've done.
Min Jae.
Will he be okay?
Don't worry. He's very resilient.
I shouldn't have started this with you.
What happened?
You didn't bring anything back?
Fine.
Sit down.
I have something to tell you.
I have nothing to say to you.
Either bring proof or bring back that woman.
Otherwise, get out.
Where would I go?
That's not my problem.
How could Miss Shin take a break at a time like this?
I gave her permission.
Is there a problem?
She doesn't look well these days.
You don't think she'll quit the company, do you?
Are we all ready for Shi Woo's broadcast activities?
The song's very good.
But it's so different from Shi Woo's image.
I don't know what the response will be like.
I don't think it'll be bad.
I admit Yoon Se Na has talent.
I almost cried listening to it.
If it almost made you cry, I'm sure it'll do well.
That's right.
My feelings are in tune with the public's.
I'm so nervous.
Why are you nervous? I should be nervous.
This isn't your first time.
This is my first broadcast, of course I'm nervous.
It's my first time standing onstage alone without dancers.
Okay fine. Let's say you're more nervous.
Hey.
Look at me.
You can't think of anything but me, right?
Forget it.
Not nervous anymore, right?
Yeah.
Shi Woo!
It's time. Let's go.
- My mom? - She's here.
She'll be watching in the audience.
Can't you just watch from the waiting room?
Fine.
Just stay since you're here.
Truth is, I'm really nervous.
More nervous than when I debuted four years ago.
I feel like I'm stepping onstage naked.
I'm showing everything. What if people reject me?
I'm worried.
I want to sing really well today.
You said you can do everything well when you're with me.
You'll do great, so don't worry.
Don't go anywhere until I'm finished and come off-stage. Okay?
Sure.
- Shi Woo, get ready. - Okay.
Shi Woo.
Good luck.
It's been a while.
So it has.
Don't be like that.
It's a smaller world than you think. You never know.
We may end up working together.
No matter how small the world, that won't happen.
You never know with people. Don't assume.
This is something I've felt since we first met.
You remind me so much of her...
A singer I once knew.
Who was she?
She was a part of the indie scene, so you wouldn't know if I told you.
Her name was Yoon So Eun.
You knew my sister?
Yoon So Eun was your sister?
If I had known, I would have been nicer to you.
We'd have a lot to talk about.
Oh my. Look at the time.
I have to get going. Infinite Power's about to come on.
I'll see you next time.
I decided to become a singer when I was very young.
Whenever I sang, my mother would say...
I wish my Yong Bok would become a singer.
Yes, my name is Yong Bok.
The person onstage today isn't Shi Woo. It's Yong Bok.
Somewhere out there, my mom is watching.
She's cried a lot because of me.
She's suffered a lot because of me.
All the things I've never been able to tell her, I've put into a song.
I dedicate this song to all the mothers in the world.
Sometimes after I dream, I open my eyes.
When I lose my way and wander, I turn back and look for you.
I miss you.
I eventually come to this.
I call for you again. I call for you again.
Your name, it was always dear to me.
I don't want to ever let go of your hand.
You always fill my heart.
I want to tell you now. Thank you.
I love you.
- Yeah? - President!
It's a hit!
That's a relief. Good work.
I was totally moved.
Thanks for creating this heart-warming moment.
I didn't make it. We made it together.
What are you thinking about?
I'm thinking of how I can keep seeing you.
I said to only focus on me when you're with me.
It's the president.
- Have you finished? - Yes, we're in the waiting room.
I heard the reaction was good. How's Shi Woo?
He's so moved by his own song he's about to cry.
Hey.
Let me talk to him.
Why do you call Yoon Se Na to talk to me? You should just call me.
What kind of president are you?
You're not even here on this important day.
Should I have gone instead of Yoon Se Na?
That's not what I meant.
You've worked hard. I'm glad it went well.
Anyway, thanks.
You're the one who gave me strength.
Though I'm the one who did well.
- Put Yoon Se Na on the phone. - No.
- Yes President? - Come back if you're done.
Why?
You're done writing the song. We have things to wrap up.
I have to go the company.
Don't go.
But the president's asking for me. I have to.
You and I need to celebrate. You're just leaving?
We can do it next time.
I'm going.
I want to be with you right now.
Sorry.
Do you like President Wook?
Let's definitely celebrate next time.
What are you doing in the dark?
No, I just...
My leg just gave out. Maybe it's my cold.
Why did you call me?
You left your things.
I didn't leave anything here.
Isn't that yours over there?
This is where it was.
You called me because of this?
No, the thing next to it. The box.
Open it up.
What is this?
I hope you only have things to smile about while you're by my side.
Let's go. We have to do what we couldn't before.
You know, the food you made for me before was really bad.
Why aren't you eating?
Thank you.
Meeting you feels like a dream to me.
I never imagined something like this would happen to me.
You should have appeared in my life three years ago.
At least I didn't appear three years later.
That's true.
I'm happier these days than I've ever been in my life.
I hope you feel the same way.
Sometimes, I feel worried.
I receive so much from you, but there's nothing I can do in return.
I'm happy I can do something for you.
For some reason, I keep thinking of my sister today.
If she were with me
I'd take her to the broadcasting station and introduce her to you.
She would have really liked that.
I told you that my sister also made music, right?
I ran into Producer Seo at the broadcasting station, and he says he knows my sister.
Do you know her too?
There's someone I want to be with.
I'm scared Se Na will get hurt because of me.
I, Yoon Se Na, will write songs with Shi Woo.
I made a contract with Yoon Se Na. We're working on my single album.
Yoon Se Na can't do that.
- Do you want to go out starting today? - There's someone else I like.
I hear she's So Eun's sister.
Leave me and Yoon Se Na alone.
Don't you want to visit the bar your sister used to work at?
- Where is that place? - Are you two leaving?
Jae Young found out. I can't think of any other way.
